Question

The boys kept adding sand, and ten minutes later the volume of the sand cone had increased by 30%. What is the exact volume of the sand cone now? (Show your work. Remember you can draw a picture to help you solve the problem.)

Answer 1

a) 84π b) 109.2π

Explanation:

The formula to find this is v=πr^2h/3

r=d/2. so the radius (r) is 6 because you have to divide the diameter (12) by 2. and the height is 7. so, 6^2=36 and 36x7=252.

252/3=84

and because the question is asking for the EXACT value, you need to just put the pi symbol next to it. Final answer for a is 84π

B) you need to find 30% of 84, which is 25.2 and add it to 84, and you will get 109.2! Final answer is 109.2π.
